This site is intended to continue support for the legacy 2.x line of the phpBB2 bulletin board package. If you are a fan of phpBB2, please, by all means register, post, and help us out by offering your suggestions. We are primarily a community and support network. Our secondary goal is to provide a phpBB2 MOD Author and Styles area.

With their help, I was able to get the database migrated from mysql4 to 5. Almost all of the messagboard worked fine in php5.x as well (php5.3, I believe), except for new user registration. When clicking the link for that, I get a completely blank page. Everything else seems to work fine including the administrator control panel, so I'm loathe to convert everything to PHPBB3 because I did quite a few modifications.

A note from one of the web programmers at work:
"On line 833 of includes/usercp_register.php is a long array and it’s giving a fatal error. I tried uploading an .htaccess file with ‘php_value register_long_arrays On’ but it didn’t like the file. If you can set any php variables under admin functions, you might try adding that line."

I can't really ask her to help much because she's busy. With the above info, can any of you point me in the right direction on how to fix this issue? I used to dabble in php a bit, but certainly wouldn't call myself a programmer.

1&1 let me set php back to version 4 so registration is working right now.

Instead of putting the file in /includes you should at least move it to the forums root to not get in trouble with some MODs you maybe install in the future. Also I don't understand why phpBB2 requires register_long_arrays set to On/True/1. The forums code automatically checks if the HTTP_*_VARS are already set by PHP and if they are not the forum will create them automatically to keep older MODs running:
